Chapter 631: Defeat
Of course, this does not include the sword in the gourd.
If he uses the sword in the gourd, with the sword energy that sweeps across everything, he believes that he can probably kill Xia Jili.
However, he does not want to expose the sword in the gourd in front of so many people unless it is absolutely necessary.
Besides, although he can't do anything to Xia Jili for the time being, Xia Jili can't do anything to him either.
He dare not fight him in close combat, so he can only attack him from a distance with his flying sword.
What can he do with just a flying sword?
Thinking of this, Duan Qing simply stopped moving and just looked at Xia Jili coldly.
Duan Qing did not move, but Xia Jili did not mean to let Duan Qing go. He continued to drive the flying sword unyieldingly and attacked Duan Qing.
In response, Duan Qing did not spend much effort to resolve Xia Jili's flying sword offensive one by one.
Just when Duan Qing thought Xia Jili was stalling for time, Xia Jili's flying sword suddenly split into seven, and then turned into forty-nine golden flying swords again, attacking Duan Qing from all directions.
Seeing this, Duan Qing's eyes were stern. He did not dare to be careless. He immediately activated the Lingbao tortoise shell and opened the shield.
The sword rain formed by the forty-nine golden flying swords hit Duan Qing's Lingbao tortoise shell shield.
For a while, there were constant bangs, and some golden flying swords fell to the ground, hitting the ground and making dust everywhere.
Xia Jili's sword rain attack lasted for several breaths before finally stopping.
When the forty-nine golden flying swords returned to one and turned into the original flying sword, the dust on the ground also subsided.
But apart from the mottled traces of the sword rain on the ground, there was no trace of Duan Qing.
Seeing this scene, Xia Jili was stunned for a moment.
Then, the slight movement from behind woke Xia Jili up suddenly, and his face changed slightly.
Without thinking, he directly performed the Golden Light Leaking the Earth.
However, the shock wave formed by the Golden Light Leaking the Earth technique, except for shattering a stone that attacked from behind him, did not affect anything else.
Feeling that the Golden Light Leaking the Earth Technique had hit nothing, Xia Tianli couldn't help but secretly thought that it was not good.
Damn it, it was a bait!
Damn it!
I fell into that kid's trap!
At this moment, Duan Qing suddenly appeared on Xia Tianli's side, and slashed Xia Tianli with a sword.
Duan Qing's timing of appearance was very clever, and he made a move just when the shock wave of Xia Tianli's Golden Light Leaking the Earth Technique had just passed.
As a result, Xia Tianli had no time to cast any spells again, nor did he have time to dodge, and could only watch Duan Qing's sword cut him.
Duan Qing's sword directly broke Xia Tianli's shield, and it was about to fall on Xia Tianli.
Seeing Duan Qing break his own shield, Xia Tianli's face changed drastically, and he felt that his soul was surging.
Boom!
Just before Duan Qing's Red Spirit Sword was about to cut Xia Tianli, it was blocked by a dark golden shield again.
Duan Qing glanced at the ball floating in front of Xia Tianli, which was emitting dark golden light, and frowned slightly.
However, the dark gold shield only blocked Duan Qing's Red Spirit Sword for a moment, and then it shattered and collapsed.
But in this moment of gap, Xia Jili had taken the opportunity to escape from the attack range of the Red Spirit Sword.
After retreating more than ten feet in a row, Xia Jili stopped and looked at Duan Qing with lingering fear.
Why did this boy's attack suddenly increase so much!
In theory, the power of a cultivator swinging a sword and the power of attacking with the sword control technique are actually similar.
Maybe it varies from person to person. Some people use more power when using the sword control technique, while some people use more power when swinging the sword with their bodies.
But in general, the two are almost similar and there will not be much difference.
When Duan Qing used the sword control technique to drive the flying sword to attack him before, he obviously couldn't even break the shield of his top-grade defensive spiritual treasure, and it was only by relying on the Suzaku Feather to make up for it that he broke his defense in one fell swoop.
This shows that Duan Qing's attack limit is roughly similar to the defensive power of his top-grade spiritual treasure shield.
But Duan Qing's sword just now obviously exceeded his expectations.
The power of that sword was definitely far greater than the power of his previous sword control technique.
Not only did it break the shield of his defensive spiritual treasure, but it also broke the fire shield of the Qinghuozhu.
According to common sense, this is impossible.
But it happened!
Even if his body is strong and his sword attack is stronger, it shouldn't be so much stronger.
Just when Xia Jili was puzzled, Duan Qing didn't intend to let Xia Jili go so easily, and attacked Xia Jili again with his sword.
In a hurry, Xia Jili wanted to activate the defensive spiritual treasure and activate the shield.
But he was horrified to find that his top-grade defensive spiritual treasure had been broken twice by Duan Qing in a short period of time, and the internal spiritual pattern had been damaged and could not be activated.
Only the Qinghuozhu could continue to be activated.
The shield of the Qinghuozhu alone could never defend against this boy's attack!
Xia Jili's back was covered with cold sweat, and in a hurry, he had to use the Golden Light Leaking Earth Technique to shock Duan Qing who attacked him away.
When Duan Qing was blown away, Xia Jili's pupils suddenly shrank!
He found that Duan Qing's hands were empty at this moment!
No! Where is his flying sword!
Thinking of this, Xia Jili did not hesitate and dodged to the side.
As soon as he moved, Duan Qing's Red Spirit Sword flew from the side and easily broke the Qinghuo Shield formed by the Qinghuo Pearl.
But because Xia Jili dodged quickly, the Red Spirit Sword only cut off his left arm.
Xia Jili's left arm was cut off, and his face showed an extremely painful expression. He endured the severe pain, covered his broken arm and wanted to distance himself from Duan Qing.
However, he hadn't run a few steps when he suddenly felt his body soften. He couldn't muster any strength and stumbled to the ground.
Seeing Xia Jili fall, Duan Qing exhaled softly, recalled the Red Spirit Sword and walked slowly to Xia Jili.
He turned Xia Jili over with his foot, put the Red Spirit Sword against his chest, and said coldly: "Any last words?"
Although Xia Jili was limp and unable to move, he clearly felt that the spiritual power fluctuations on Duan Qing's body exceeded the late stage of the Questioning Heart Realm and were almost at the level of the early stage of the Spiritual Sea Realm!
"You... are in the Spiritual Sea Realm?" Xia Jili said weakly.
Duan Qing shook his head gently. "No! Duan is indeed in the late stage of the Questioning Heart Realm!"
The reason why he looks like he is at the early stage of the Spiritual Sea Realm now is because he performed the Zuo Shen technique.
Before, when he was hiding with the White Dream Secret Technique, he secretly performed this technique.
In the more than one year in the wasteland, his gains were not only a breakthrough in cultivation.
In fact, this was the first time he had used the Zuo Shenshu in actual combat since he had acquired it.
Even though the Zuo Shenshu was not as effective on himself as it was on others, it had raised his level to the initial stage of the Spiritual Sea Realm.
It was for this reason that he was able to cut through Xia Jili's double shield with one sword.
It must be said that the Zuo Shenshu, the secret art of the Zuo family, was extremely practical.
